The matter was resolved by the KFCC (Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce) and a one-year ban was imposed on the actor. The ban on him was lifted after the Karnataka Film Federation intervened.
- In 2013, Vijay filed for divorce from his wife Nagaratna, claiming that she had misbehaved with his mother.

Caught in the middle of the controversy, Shouba said she knew nothing and her name was dragged unnecessarily.

Vijay was arrested for helping the accused escape; as Gowda was staying at his house.
